ANOTHER bridge horror occurred
on one of the Eastern railroads yes
terday. by which scores of passen-
gers were killed and wounded. 1t
occurredon branch road of the Bos-
ton and Providence railroad, by the
falling of an iron bridge, by which
closely crowded train of passen-
gers. was precipitated thirty feet
into the water.
The bridge was known among
railroad men as the "Tin bridge, !"
on account of its light construction,
aud no surprise is felt among those
who knew of its frail construction,
at its sudden dive into the river be-
low.
The number of recent accidents
to railroad bridges are traceable to
gross carelesaness of railroad atten-
dents or reckless construction. Rail-
road men all agree that well-con-
structed railroad bridge is the safest
part of the road, and is less liable
to accidents when properly con-
structed and carefully attended to,
than any other point of the struc-
ture. We think it proper to state
in this connection. the A. s b.
Short Line bridge over the Severn
river, is the best and strongest pile
bridge in the country. IN addition
to the closeness Of the piles and the
usual bracings Of such structures,
several tons Of iron bars have been.
used to make assurance doublyI
sure, and the bridge is pronounced
By the ablest engineers . model pile
bridge and superior to the ordinary
iron structures recently introduced
on railroads.

The township system in this
State, similar to that of New York
State, is being freely discussed by
the people of Maryland, in view of
the probable meeting of consti-
tutional convention in this city. We
have not examined the system crit
ically, but after hasty glance over
the New York law, we are inclined
to favor it for this reason, and this
reason only, viz that it creates
twenty-five or more Offices IN each
township, and the salaries will be
paid by the taxpayers of each town
ship, making the burden exceeding
ly light upon individual property
holders, and give employment and
emolument to quite number of po-
litical bummers, who are always
anxiously waiting for something to
turn up.
The advantages that may result
to the people from this system, we
have not had time to carefully in
quire into, but infer that so large a
horde of Office holders may, in their
combined wisdom, find out how to
lessen taxes, establish good roads,
enrich the lands, increase the crops,
and make US all healthy, wealthy and
wise.

TIME.-l491 B. c. Just after the passover.
PLACE.-Pihahiroth The sea.

No trouble seemed deep enough, no visitation
of Divine Power severe enough, to impress upon
Pharaoh the great fact that the Father cared
for his people The Egyptian King gained
knowledge slowly. even through the mos bit
of the passover came, and in every Egyptian
ants hut, lay the first-born, dead, the wicked
Pharaoh began to realize his danger, and the
Israelites were bade to depart.
This of course they did, but no sooner were
they gone than the poor weak humanity of
his hosts he pursued the Israelites. We have
in the recital of the lesson, picture of the re-
markable manner in which the father cared
for his fleeing children, how he kept barriers
between them and their pursuers, and how,
when the Israelites seemed to be hemmed in,
overwhelmed, Pharaoh rushed upon them-to
his own destruction. The lesson to us is that,
though the children of God may be placed in
circumstances where no mortal aid can reach
them, there is q power to sustain them, even
there. And though the powers of sin may
seem to triumph for time, there is al last
great river beyond which sin cannot pursue the
trusting soul, and over which the child of God
may pass dry land, while the pursuing
sin will be overwhelmed in its waters The
children were long time getting the true idea
of the m ajesty and love of the Father. We of
to-day have the advantage of greater light,
| and vastly better opportunity for learning.
Learn from the record of the children of Israel,
as we'll as from all history and appropriate it to
your own good, the wonderful care of the
Father for his faithful children.

The candidates are coming and the
Republican County Convention will
doutless have considerable work to do.
There is but one safe course for it to
pursue, that is to meet, make nomina-
tions as speedily as possible, and ad-
journ as soon as possible. The party
does not want any bitter contests this
year. There is no reason why every
thing should not be harmonious this
year, as all the true Republicans have
the good Of the party at heart, and
will work to that end. True, the
party got slight backset in Lick
this Spring by little handful of dis
gruntled ones voting the Copperhead
ticket, but they are all ashamed now,
and have consented to come back and
teach the rest of US true Republican,
ism, and we shall all get along

10 And the Angel of God, which went befol e
the camp of Israel, removed aud went behind
them; and the pillar of the cloud went from
before their face. and stood behind them:
20 And IL came between the camp of the
Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was
cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by
night to these; so that the one came not near
the other all the night.
81 And Moses stretched out his hand over the
sea and the Lord caused the sea to go back by
strong east wind all that night, and made the
dry land, and the waters were divided.
% And the children of Israel went into the
midst of the sea upon the dry ground and the
waters were wall unto them their right
hand, and on their left.
-23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in
after them to the midst of the sea, even all
Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and mis- horse
men.
"a And it came to pass, tnat in the morning
watch the Lord looked upon the host of the
Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the
cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
% And took off their charot Wheels that they
drave them heavily; so that the Egyptians
said, Let flee from the face of Israel; for the
Lord fghteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the Lord said unto Moses Stretch out
thine hand over the sea, that the waters may
come again upon the Egyptians, upon their
chariots, end upon their horsemen.
q And Moses stretched forth his hand over
the sea, and the sea returned to his strength
when the morning appeared; and the Egyp-
tians fled against it and the Lord overthrew
The Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
2S And the waters returned, and covered the
chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of
Pharaoh that came into the sea after them
there remained not so much one of them.
80 But the children of Israel walked upon
dry land in the midst of the sea; and the wa
tiers were wall unto them on their right hand,
and on their left. -
80 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of
| the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the
| Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
81 And Israel saw the great work which the
Lord did upon the Egyptians; and the people
feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his
| servant Moses.

A Word About Catarrh.

1T is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi

pleasures of taste Insidiously, by creeping from

delicate coats and causing Inflammation and soug h.
